‘The Monkey Footman’ A Rare British 19th Century Colonial Carved Figure

SOLD.
‘At Your Service Sir’
This esoteric carved and poly-chrome wood figure depicts a monkey as a footman bringing a tray. Its lively colors, shiny buttons and sparkling glass eyes all contribute the amusing notions of British colonial society. Standing rather tall on a wooden rectangular base, the figure offers great opportunities for adding your own touch to the tray.
